II is astonishing to notice how plain all
stationery has become. Not ten years ago
every lady had her monogram and her crest
on her paper, or motto, or her initials in
facsimile put in one corner in a dash of red
or blue OF purple. Now she has TO find
something ragged edged and plain il she
wishes her moee TO be in the fashion. There
exists, however, no objection to an initial, OF
even to little crest il it is really ones own

Hurt by Facts.

We infer from our business
that two facts about clothing
are getting more apparent to
you.
1. Cheap clothing is ex-
pensive. 2. Reliable can be
bought for less than you eX-
pected.
We couldn't be at every
ones ear whispering that the
first day we came to Ottawa.
We got at as many elbows as
we could. We said: 1--WE sell
the reliable. Find out how
little we sell it for"
You did. You are still.
Cheap clothing got hurt by
being found out. Let us leave
it there.
We had another thing to
say. Reliable clothing may
be fine, and yet not high in
price.
The quality regulates that.
1t may be fine; it may be
strong. We have both kinds.
You can depend on either as
the best of its kind; as being
exactly what we call it; and
lowest in price for that.

ORANGE CITY'S LUCK.

Why the Committee Decided to Lo-
cate the Methodist College There.
ORANGE CITY, FLA, Feb. Last
week witnessed very important step on
the part OF the st. Johns River Confer
ence of the Nj. l.. Church. More than q
year ago the conference began TO sgitste
the question OF establishing a college
within it's bounds. This matter took
such definite shape at the meeting of the
conference in Jacksonville the first OF
last month that a provisional board OF
trustees was elected and instructed to
visit the places proposed for the college,
examine the propositions, consider the
respective claims and advantages, and
locate the college at the most desirable
point.
This board, accompanied by Bishop
Foss. OF Minneapolis, reached Orange
City on Tuesday, Feb. l, aud spent here a
part of two days. They were met by a
large delegation OF citizens on a special
tram, and on reaching town, Were escort
ed to the city hail, where they were re-
ceiyed by large number OF citizens with
au appropriate address OF welcome from
+. G. Austin. The next morning many
carriages were engaged aud the board
spent much of the day In driving around
groves. Leaving here on the even
ing OF Feb. ., they reached Nit. Dora, in
Orange county, in time tor an evening re-
ception, at which the assembled au-
dience were treated to some very fine
music. On the morning OF FEB. the
trustees having carriages placed
at their disposal, drove around
over the beautiful country of Mt.
Dora. The Board OF Trustees, then, as
a locating committee, received PROPOSE
tons from competing points. and pro-
ceeded 10 n thorough examination and
careful consideration OF the respective
offers aud advan tages. They adjourned
at o'clock to socept sail on Lake Dora,
After returning they went into secret
session. and at l0o'clock p. m. announced
that they had decided 10 locate the col
lege al Orange CITY, in Nolusia county.
Orange civ offered property having a
cash valuation OF $4,000. with an add.
tionsl fund OF near 81 900 Tor an indefinite
time. The healthfuluess, natural beauty
and advantages, and the intelligent, cul.
tivated class OF the citizens Of Orange
City, were the great factors In settling
the question.

The South Florida Exposition will be
held in Orlando, beginning Tuesday, Feb.

dered by the citizens of that enterpri sing

especially those of the counties Of Orange,

Monroe. The exhibits will also embrace
mineral, mechanical and such other
articles or productions as may lend in
terest or value to the exhibition.
Those who visited the New Orleans
Exposition will remember the magnifi-
Gent exhibit made by Florida. People
from every part of the world gaZed with
wonder at what looked like the produce
tons of some fairy land. IGthat exhibit
was so attractive what can't be expected
of that which is to take place at Orlando,
right in the midst OF the great semi

of the opportunity to see the products of
South Florida in a compact shape, gath
cred from its fields and orchards.
